The newspapers consider that the outlook for a settlement of the dispute is "more hopeful than it was a few days ago, but that many jobstacles have still to be overcome and the coming week will be one of some anxiety to all parties con- İcerned: "
Mr. Neville Chamberlain, the Minister of Health, in a speech last night discussed the coal situa- tion and declared himself to be hopeful that a settlement would be Breached! As both owners and miners had faith in the fair mindedness and impartiality of the Prime Minister he believed that in a little while the worst of the danger which had threatened would pass away. If the country could get rid of the coal trouble. the prospects of rude were not unfavourable.
